Construction Equipment Financing
Contractors, site-work crews and builders use equipment financing to add or replace machines without paying the full price up front. EquipmentLoan.com organizes your request so financing providers that may fit it can review it.

This page covers the machines contractors commonly ask about, what lenders tend to review and what to have ready. Approval and terms depend on the lender and your business’s qualifications.

Construction equipment contractors commonly finance
- Excavators, including mini excavators
- Skid steers and compact track loaders
- Wheel loaders and backhoe loaders
- Dozers and motor graders
- Compaction equipment and rollers
- Dump trucks and equipment trailers
Whether a specific machine can be financed is decided by the lender after review.
New and used considerations
- New machines usually come with a dealer quote and a clear price, which simplifies documentation.
- Used machines are reviewed on age, hours, condition and seller type, and some lenders limit how old financed equipment can be.
- Equipment bought at auction often has a short payment deadline, so starting a request early helps.
Factors lenders review
Each lender weighs these differently. We do not publish credit-score cutoffs because none applies across lenders.
- Business and personal credit profile
- Time in business and contracting history
- Revenue and cash flow, including how steady your project work is
- The machine’s type, age, condition and resale value
- Down payment, if any, and the requested term
Documents to prepare
None of these are needed to submit our request. A lender may ask for them later.
- Equipment quote or invoice with price and serial number when available
- Recent business bank statements
- Business tax returns or financial statements, if requested
- Basic business details: legal name, state, time in business
How the application process works
Submit a pre-qualification request

Review any options
If a provider can work with the request, you review what it offers. You are not obligated to accept.

Construction Equipment Financing questions
- Can several machines be included in one request?
- You can describe more than one machine in a single pre-qualification request. Whether a lender finances them together, separately or only in part depends on the lender and your qualifications.
- Do I need a contract or backlog to apply?
- Our request form does not ask for contracts. A lender may ask about your work pipeline as part of its own review; requirements vary by lender.
- Can I finance used construction equipment?
- Often, yes. Age, hours, condition and seller type can affect whether a specific used machine is accepted and on what terms.
